The losses continue to pile up for the Bears at an alarming rate. A 26-10 setback against the Packers on Thursday night at Lambeau Field left John Fox's team at 1-6.

Just as unsettling is the ongoing rash of injuries that has prevented the Bears from establishing any continuity this season.

Pernell McPhee's long-awaited return — his first game since last season — was overshadowed by a new set of health setbacks. Quarterback Brian Hoyer broke his left arm in the second quarter. Right guard Kyle Long's night ended in the first half because of an arm injury. Five other opening-day offensive starters were already out before the game began.
